I'm from the South. I'm also a high school dropout. I won't go into the various vices I've had over the years since, but suffice to say there have been many. After dropping out and…

According to the section entitled "Demise": >In the late 1920s a Swedish-Danish-Norwegian union of companies (the North European Luma Co-op Society) began planning an independent m…

Better to overengineer at a cost of an extra ten or twenty million and get many more years out of your rover than to underengineer, have the program fail, and have to face not only…

If I load pages on HN in incognito mode, my load times are the same as they always were: fast, generally under half a second. On the other hand, if I load a page while signed in, t…

Not consolidating, but expressing. No matter how you interpret it, Bill Gates is an American citizen, and people will associate what he does with America on some level, as they wou…

I bought a Lumia 620 for $70 on Amazon and hooked it up through Straight Talk on their $45/unlimited plan, and frankly, it's pretty great. The O/S is fluid and pretty, the phone wo…

The welfare system in Sweden IS seen as a massive success because it HAS been a massive success, and didn't have many serious problems because people respected it as a temporary th…

Which is more ridiculous: that AMC actually called the FBI, or that the FBI actually respond in this way? What the fuck is wrong with this country?

The right thing to do would be to test the idea before shoving it down voters' throats. It would not only be morally correct, it would provide great ammunition for fighting against…

Is it a shocker that I misread that table? Obviously, you meant that facetiously, suggesting that you believe that someone who espouses views contrary to popular liberal ideology i…

I would like to volunteer myself to slap the shit out of everyone with this mindset.

As a Swede, you're shockingly uninformed. https://www.google.com/search?q=sweden+welfare+immigration&o...

Do you know what the Swedes didn't have a problem with a decade ago? Welfare abuse. All of a sudden, they have a problem with it now. Do you know who are the ones abusing the syste…

Forgive me for offending your politically correct sensibilities, but it seems that I'm going to have to be even more blunt: if you want to convince white people in this country tha…

Dependence. Turns out that when you incentivize something, you get more of it. Who knew?

Correction: this is what happens when poor Cherokee receive a stipend, but let's not pretend that the Cherokee are the ones we're worried about here. There are differences between …

Excuses. Everyone has nothing but excuses.

People who speak about things which they know nothing about are the worst kind of fools.

The withering of mechanisms to effect change follows directly from apathy. Conversely, those mechanisms flourish with the existence of an engaged, informed citizenry. We have no on…

Incentives incentivize things; who knew?

That's because the rest of you don't understand what an all-out financial collapse would mean for you because as a result of the FED's actions, it didn't happen.
